L'Education fait tout is a 1791 ink by Nicolas Delaunay, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a group of people gathered around a woman holding a baby. The scene is set in a room with a fireplace and a doorway in the background. The woman is surrounded by children and adults, all looking at her with interest. The woman is wearing a dress and a hat, and the baby is wrapped in a blanket. The people around her are dressed in simple clothing, and some of them are holding objects such as a book or a basket. The atmosphere of the scene is one of warmth and intimacy, as if the group is sharing a special moment together. If you're interested in learning more about this style of art, you might want to look into the Romanticism movement.
